Camilo Villegas and Michael Kim share the early lead in the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico. It's the first PGA Tour event on a course designed by Tiger Woods. The fairways are wide, the greens are smooth and the scores are low. Villegas played bogey-free for his 64. Cameron Young and Matt Kuchar are among those one shot behind.
LOS CABOS, Mexico — Camilo Villegas has been working all year on his swing and had reason to hope it was starting to come together. He opened with an 8-under 64 on Thursday and shared the lead with Michael Kim in the World Wide Technology Championship.
With smooth, soft green and wind that was more refreshing than troublesome, El Cardonal was a course to take aim. Among early starters, 41 players broke 70.The timing was ideal for Villegas, whose four PGA Tour titles included back-to-back FedEx Cup playoff titles in 2008. But he since has lost his card and spent most of 2023 between the Korn Ferry Tour and what starts he could get in the big leagues with hopes of getting back.
“Obviously it’s huge, especially next year where we’ve got all those elevated events and who knows what the field are going to be,” Villegas said. “But hey, I’m not worried about that. I’ve been out here a long time. Yes, I want to be out here for many more years, but things don’t change, man. Wake up every morning to the same things and play good, get better and you just got to let rest take care of business.
Young, at No. 17 the highest-ranked player in the field, didn’t play at all. He missed out on the Tour Championship, and then was left off the Ryder Cup team. The break did him well. Young said he practiced consistently for two months.
